Quentin Tarantino's Latest Film is Django Unchained

No, this isn't just endless talk that amounts to nothing (The Vega Brothers, Kill Bill Volume III, that untitled Mandarin-language/English-subtitled kung-fu epic, etc.) Quentin Tarantino is making another movie following his, in my opinion, masterpiece Inglorious Basterds and the tragic death of his long-time editor Sally Menke which many feared killed his momentum to continue making movies from here on end.

Twitter user AgentTrainee (whose specific tweet on the matter was subsequently yanked) posted the front page to Tarantino's latest unveiling its title Django Unchained.

There'd been rumblings a few months back about the spaghetti-Western project, including a cast featuring Keith Carradine, Franco Nero (who'd played the character of Django in several Italian productions back in the day), Christoph Waltz and Treat Williams. Had to be cautious because, again, God love him, the man talks a lot, and many times it amounts to nothing.

Not the case here, as Indie Wire further elaborates on the subject speaking to a source who's read the script and provides this plot synopsis (read ahead, at your own apparel):

"Django is a freed slave, who, under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (played by Christopher Waltz the evil Nazi officer in Inglorious Basterds) becomes a bad-ass bounty hunter himself, and after assisting Waltz in taking down some bad guys for profit, is helped by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner. And that doesn’t even half begin to cover it! This film deals with racism as I've rarely seen it handled in a Hollywood film. While it’s 100 percent pure popcorn and revenge flick, it is pure genius in the way it takes on the evil slave owning south. Think of what he did with the Nazis in Inglorious and you’ll get a sense of what he’s doing with slave owners and slave overseers in this one."

Tarantino is now gearing up to have production rolling later this year. So it looks like we'll have a new film from him by next year. Which automatically shoots it to the top of my personal "Must See" list.
